Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction, Volume 7, Issue 1

March 2025 - 26 articles

Cover Story: “Better than trees” describes opportunities to improve machine learning interpretability by applying semilattices through algebraic machine learning. Unlike trees, semilattices can include connections between elements that are in different hierarchies. This enables semilattices to be better than trees in balancing the accuracy and complexity of models. In this paper, the advantages of semilattices are explained using the practical example of urban food access landscapes, comprising food deserts, food oases, and food swamps. The means by which algebraic semilattices can provide a basis for machine learning models is explained. Thus, rather than proposing improvements to tree-based methods, this paper provides guidance for the formulation of machine learning models based on algebraic semilattices. View this paper
